Father, she would call him. His heart swelled with pride as she did. It never ceased to amaze him the amount of love that had blossomed for each of his adopted children. One would think that there would be some foreignness to the relationship, something that didn't quite click or make sense. But for the King, there was nothing but love and adoration. Eyes swam over her silvery coat burnished with red markings. The girl was truly a beauty. She took her coloring from her father, he guessed, because he knew that the children's mother had been a fiery red like he'd never seen before. She also bore the same pockmarked appaloosa appearance that the boys did, a feature that Gerhardt was quite intrigued by. Would their children bear the same resemblance? Her sweet voice would enter the air once more, bringing him an answer to his question and a question of her own. A smile crept across his features. "This delta is my home, where else would I be?" A light chuckle bubbled up from his chest, reverberating into the air and tapering off gently.

"I have news for you, sweet daughter." The King would stride forth, attempting to brush his cheek against his daughter's. He wondered what she would think of the future he had planned for her - if she would accept or reject it. Part of it was set in stone, that was for certain, but part was up to her. "As you have probably heard through the grapevine, I have named your brother Maverick as Prince of Seracia." He paused, in case she hadn't heard the news just yet. No formal announcement had been made, but the siblings were close and Maverick had probably told her already. "I do not wish this to upset you, for I haven't forgotten you." Another pause was given before he gave his query. "How would you feel about training for the position of Grand Duchess? You would step into the position immediately, and be trained fully by my brother, Gideon." Ah yes, Gideon would be so thrilled with the arrangement. He knew she would be a good Grand Duchess, if she chose to follow that path. If not, he would let her train for something else.
